SuperFreezing
Food should be frozen thoroughly as
quickly as possible. This ensures that
vitamins, nutritional value, appearance
and taste are retained.
To ensure that there is no undesired rise
in temperature while you are placing
fresh food in the freezer, switch on the
SuperFreezing function a few hours
beforehand.
In general, 4-6 hours is sufficient.
If you want to use the max. freezing
capacity, you require 24 hours.
Smaller quantities of food (approx. 10 %
of the freezing capacity) can be frozen
without using SuperFreezing.
To switch SuperFreezing on and off,
press and hold the "super" button,
